You're a sassy, flashy princess this week,
with a very, very long ponytail.
OMG.
ANTHONY BURRELL: What do you think, Ma?
JESSALYNN: Oh yeah. [chuckles]
A good Turner can turn no matter what kind of hair they have.
So we're going to put this in her hair
now, because we need to rehearse with it.
JOJO: No one else has a solo this week.
It's cute, it's fierce, and I get
this super-long, fabulous wig.
Music.
[dance music playing]
Pssh-- when it comes to the other dancers,
knock them all off the dance floor, because it's my week.
JESSALYNN: The hair is, like, four feet long.
And the turn with that, it's super hard.
ANTHONY BURRELL: I'm proud of you.
Good job.
Thanks.
Come on.
JESSALYNN: When I heard there was a Rapunzel dance,
I was like, oh--
JOJO: Oh, that's JoJo.
JESSALYNN: I know who's getting that one.
Nothing is off limits when it comes
to doing what I think will benefit JoJo
She's the Rapunzel of 2013.
You know, your hair is getting really dark.
We're going to need to lighten this up.
JOJO: I have been dying my hair since I
was like 2, maybe 1 and 1/2.
I'm not a natural blonde.
I'm actually a natural brown.
I get brown roots.
So I have to dye it so it looks like I'm a natural blonde.
JESSALYNN: Abby can't say we didn't go all out.
We went all out.
You get out there and work it.
Just listen to your music, and dance.
There's a lot of pressure at this competition.
But having a solo is, like, a whole other world.
Tonight, JoJo is doing these really hard turn combinations.
She has this crazy wig.
It could bring her down.
And I'm really worried.
KEVIN MANNO: All right, you guys ready?
Please give a big hand to JoJo.
[cheers, applause]
[pop dance music]
(SINGING) Wave your hands up free.
Let's move, move, to the endless beat.
So put your hands up.
24/7, 3-6-5, party don't stop, party
don't stop, get it, get it.
I keep on dancing with the light in your eyes.
We keep it going all night, all right, yeah.
24/7, 3-6-5, party don't stop, party
don't stop, get it, get it.
I keep on dancing with the light in your eyes.
We keep it going all night, all night, yeah.
Party don't stop, party don't stop, ever, ever.
Party don't stop, ever, ever.
Party don't stop, party don't stop, ever, ever.
[applause]
Oh, he gave her the finger.
Let's hear it for JoJo.
JoJo.
Yes?
Tonight I think I'll be your fairy godmother.
[applause]
KEVIN MANNO: It's a good thing.
It's a great thing.
[applause]
First off, I like the new do.
Yes, you nailed those turns tonight.
[applause]
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
[applause]
It was so good.
Those turns were fantastic.
But what I'm amazed about is the long extension weave you have,
past your torso.
And you're still in it.
You were still beautiful.
You are on fire.
Out of the gate, you demand our attention.
You performed like you were an old Broadway pro.
KEVIN MANNO: Judges, thank you so much.
That was a great start to the night.
Let's hear it one more time for JoJo.
[cheers, applause]
JoJo.
(EXCITEDLY) Yay.
Honestly, I feel like I'm the best dancer here.
And I think it's time everyone else here realizes it.
ABBY: All right, what do we think?
RICHY JACKSON: Definitely. - She worked it.
RICHY JACKSON: Yeah.
The hair, the hips, the leg, the turns.
Just because she's little, that's when you can do whatever
you want and get away with it.
Suckas.
JoJo, tonight we felt you were the best
performance of the evening.
Yeah.
[cheers, applause]
KEVIN MANNO: Congratulations, JoJo.
Abby Lee Miller is saying all this to me,
so I'm, like, shocked, excited, times a million.
Join your mom.
[applause]
JESSALYNN: Sorry if you hate us, but we're still here.
